JUDGE CRUMPACKER PLEADING THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1902. ernment to its mad presumption. Judge Crumpacker protests against this outrage; he protests against the usurpation of authority to disfranchise American citizens, and he insists that under the terms of the law and the Constitution the government shall assert its rightful authority and protect the rights of its citizens. Says he: "The power of establishing qualification for suffrage rests exclusively with the states, subject only to the limitation that the right to vote shall not be denied on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." This provision he makes plain, clear and mandatory, and he declares cannot be ignored except by the arbitrary will of congress. But the right to vote is being denied in the main on account of race, color and previous condition of servitude. The power of the government is designed to repress and prevent any abuse of the powers of the state over the control of the suffrage and that is, the reduction of representation whenever such abuses are known. States in the Union have disfranchised male citizens to such an extent as to deprive them of several representatives under the constitutional plan of apportionment. The argument made by Congressman Crumpacker in the house of representatives upon the disfranchisement of Afro-Americans in the south is at once unanswerable. He has hewn to the line, applied the law and offers the only remedy for the great crime against the government when he asks: "Shall the only connective power for such abuses that resides in congress be abrogated by passive nullification?" Despite the fact that there is not a member in congress, nor a person well versed in a knowledge of our National Constitution who does not know to a moral certainty that a flagrant wrong is being committed against the United States, yet there are men having the affrontary to justify the wrong, though they compromise truth and honor and betray the sacred cause of liberty and justice. Grandly, nobly and well, the able judge discloses the distinction between qualifications which restrict the right of suffrage and regulations prescribing the method of exercising that right. No abler effort for freedom and justice has yet been made upon the floor of congress and no sublimer cause has ever been espoused. Let the friends of our country heed his words of admonition and let justice be done. FORAKER AND HANNA. The Washington (D. C.) Star of a recent date publishes the following correspondence from Columbus, O.: "Since the succession of Mr. Roosevelt to the presidency, the suspicion has grown in the minds of Ohio republican politicians that Senator Hanna's power is on the wane. The story has come repeatedly from Washington that Senator Foraker now finds more favor at the White House than Senator Hanna and that the president will require that Senator Hanna prove that he is the head of and in control of the republican party in Ohio before he will regard him as the Ohio leader." By this time the president is doubtless aware of the fact that Senator Hanna's power in Ohio is not only on the wane, but was practically lost with the death of President McKinley, and that Senator Foraker is unquestionably the republican leader in this state. The contest over the organization of the Ohio assembly made the above perfectly clear to all who watched and understood it. Senator Foraker selected his friends to back for positions in both branches of the assembly. Senator Hanna did the same thing, but seeing certain defeat staring him in the face, he dropped his friends who were candidates for speaker and clerk of the house of representatives and took up two men (McKinnon and McElroy), anti-Hanna men, and friends of Senator Foraker. Last fall, when McKinnon was a second time a candidate for renomination to the legislature, his opponent was a man selected by Hanna and Dick. When Hanna's friends decided to support him for speaker of the house he at once repaired to the Foraker headquarters, making proper explanation and saying that in return for their support he surrendered absolutely nothing and proposed to retain his independence of the Hanna faction. He fully realized the fact that the latter were forced to take him up as a candidate. Foraker's candidates were successful in the senate and friends of his were successful in being elected officers of the house of representatives. It is the concensus of opinion among republicans throughout the state that Hanna met his Waterloo, at least as far as politics in Ohio is concerned, at Columbus, the latter part of last week. There is also no doubt in their minds as to who is the republican leader in this state and as to the fact of Senator Foraker's finding more favor at the White House than Senator Hanna. Those who were at Philadelphia when Gov. Roosevelt was nominated as the candidate for vice-president on the republican ticket with President McKlnley, will understand, after a moment's thought, why this should be true if they recall the animus prompting the Hanna opposition to his nomination. It is true Mr. Roosevelt did not want to be the candidate for vice-president. It is equally true that Senator Hanna did not want him nominated. Indeed, the latter preferred almost anyone else to Roosevelt. The great majority of the leading republicans of Ohio welcome the change in the control of the party in this state—the return of Foraker leadership. The past five years of Hanna "czarism" has been quite enough—indeed, entirely too much. "Thank God! from whom all blessings flow." Emancipation Banquet. Lockland and Wyoming, O.—At the Emancipation banquet at Bethel church, recently, covers were laid for 150. The tables were heavily laden and there was an excellent program.

Washington, Jan. 7.—The senators and representatives of the Pacific coast who have been considering a bill for Chinese exclusion have perfected a measure which will be introduced in both houses in a few days. It is much more comprehensive than any bills that have been presented heretofore on this subject, most of which provided for excluding Chinese or re-enacting the Geary law. The bill does not limit itself to any term of years, as did the Geary act, but if passed in its present form would be perpetual unless repealed. The bill declares that all Chinese, other than citizens of the United States or those who are secured in coming to and residing in the United States under the present treaty with China, shall be refused admission and returned to the country whence they came at the expense of the transportation company bringing them. Transportation companies bringing Chinese to the United States shall detain them until their right to admission shall be ascertained. Penalties are provided for not complying with the provisions of the act, $1,000 fine and one year's imprisonment being the minimum, with a liability to forfeiture of vessels violating any of the provisions of the law. The only Chinese persons permitted to enter the United States under the act are those who have become citizens by birth and naturalization, and officials of the Chinese government, teachers, students, merchants, travelers for pleasure or curiosity, returning laborers, who must have certificates, or domiciled merchants. Chinese coming as above enumerated must have certificates with a photograph attached. Gorman's Election Seems Certain. and state treasurer is regarded as settled. The republicans nominated Congressman William H. Jackson, of Wicomico county, for United States senator. TESTIFIES. W. H. Reeves Tells About the Frauds in the Cuban Postal Service-Stamp Clerks' Evidence. Havana, Jan. 7.—At the continuation of the trials arising from the Cuban post office frauds, in the audience court yesterday, Senors Lanuza and Desvernino reappeared as counsel for Estes Rathbone. Upon opening of the court last Saturday Rathbone was informed by the judges that his counsel, Senors Lanuza and Desvernino, had withdrawn from the case. Moya and Mascara, the two Cuban stamp clerks, testified that they had received surcharged stamps from Charles F. W. Neely without making record thereof, that they had sold them and had given the money received therefor to Neely. The two stamp clerks recalled about 18 instances of such payments, of about $100 each. Moya said that Neely's clerks received this money when Neely was not present. W. H. Reeves, one of the defendants, was on the stand for three hours. His voice was so weak that the interpreter repeatedly asked him to speak louder because the official stenographers were unable to catch one-half of what he said. The fiscal examined Reeves with regard to the paying of four duplicate warrants on the post office department for the pay of employees in July, 1899, when Reeves was deputy auditor of Cuba, and involving about $8,000. One set of warrants had been drawn about the middle of the month, and another later, and the names on them had been forged. Reeves said that both sets of warrants had been paid. He testified that Neely told him that he had cashed the warrants. Boers Lost 18,000 Men Last Year and London, Jan. 8.—A published review of operations in South Africa during the past year, based upon official reports, gives an interesting comparison of Boer and British losses. The review says that the total reduction of the Boer forces, in killed, wounded, taken prisoner and surrendered, amounts to 18,320 men. Out of this total only 7,993 rifles were secured. The captures of Boer ammunition amount to 2,300,000 cartridges. British columns are supposed to have taken all the Boer artillery, amounting to 27 guns exclusive of the two captured by Gen. De Wet at Zeefontein. During the last year a total of 29,882 horses were captured, while of other stock, such as cattle, oxen and sheep, 366,821 head were captured. The British casualties from actual fightin amounts to only half the those sustained by the Boers, namely 9,113 men, of which 1,513 were taken prisoner, and have since been released. During the last year 4,090 men died of disease, 15 officers and 342 men were accidentally killed and 25,800 men were invalided home. A New York Central Train Crashes Into a Passenger Train, Causing the Death of 15 Persons and Injury to 30 Others—Signals Disregarded by Engineer. New York, Jan. 9.—In the New York Central railroad tunnel that burrows under Park avenue, this city, two local trains collided yesterday. Fifteen passengers were killed and twice that number were injured. A dozen of the latter were seriously hurt and the roster of the dead may be extended. It was a rear-end collision between a South Norwalk local that ran in over the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad and was halted by block signals at the southern entrance of the tunnel, and a White Plains local that came by the Harlem branch of the New York Central. The trains were crowded by suburbanites. Most of the death, injury and damage was wrought by the engine of the White Plains train, which plunged into the rear car of the motionless train and was driven through to the middle of the car, smashing the seats and furnishings and splitting the sides as it moved forward. The victims either were mangled in the mass of wreckage carried on the pilot, crushed in the space between boiler and car sides, or scalded by steam which came hissing from broken pipes and cylinders. The engine, in its final plunge of 40 feet, carried the rear car forward and sent twisted iron, broken timbers and splinters crashing into the coach ahead. Lights were extinguished and from the wreckage and darkness came the cries of the injured and calls for assistance by those who escaped. Responsibility for the disaster is unfixed, but Superintendent Franklin said that so far as he had been able to discover, John Wischo, engineer of the White Plains train, is to blame. It is declared that when the South Norwalk train stopped a flagman ran back into the tunnel, and, besides placing a torpedo on the track, endeavored to flag the oncoming train. The tunnel was beclouded with steam and smoke, while the snow, which fell through the air shafts, tended to obscure the view. Engineer Wischo and Fireman Christopher Flynn were arrested. Superintendent Franklin has issued a statement as to the accident, in which he declares that the block signals at Fifty-ninth street were obeyed by the New Haven train, while the engineer of the White Plains train disregard them. "The torpedo on the track went off," said the superintendent, "but he did not stop, even though the fireman called to him to do so. The system of block signals is such that it is a physical impossibility for a signalman to make his light declare the track free if another train is on the block." District Attorney Jerome visited the wreck and examined many witnesses. The state railway commission also announced its intention to make an investigation and similar intent was expressed by the officers of both the New York Central road and the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. Residents of Now Rochelle contributed the largest number to the casualty list because the rear car of the South Norwalk train was reserved for them. NAVAL HERO DIES. Commodore Potter, Who Made a Brilliant Record, Has Crossed the Great Divide. Belvidere, Ill., Jan. 9.—Commodore Edward Potter, retired, died from paralysis at his home in this city last evening. He was born at Medina, N. Y., in 1833. He was appointed from Rockford, Ill., to the Annapolis academy in 1850 and served in the navy until his retirement as commodore in 1895. At the outbreak of the civil war Commodore Potter was with Admiral Schley on the steam frigate Niagara. When Capt. McLean learned that war had begun he gave the crew a chance to choose between the north and south. Potter and Schley were the first to step to the Union side. Commodore Potter was sent to Ireland with the Constellation with provisions to relieve the famine in 1880. He had command of the Norfolk navy yard during the world's fair, when foreign warships made it a rendezvous. (His last command was the naval home in Philadelphia. His record during the civil war was a notable one. He had command of the ironclad Chippewa at the siege of Fort Fisher and while serving in the gulf squadron participated in the bombardment and the passage of Forts Jackson and Philip and the capture of New Orleans. HIS BEST WITNESS. A Man Accused of Murder Expects to Prove an Alibi by Means of a Phonograph. Chicago, Jan. 9.—A phonographic record of a story, which he says he told, is what Louis Thoms, under arrest on a charge of having murdered Minnie Larson during the night of December 30, was advanced yesterday as proof that he was not on the steamer Peerless the night the girl is said to have been slain and her weighted body sunk in the river. He declared that he spent most of the night with friends and that Albert Ristau, one of the party, had a phonograph into which they all talked. Ristau confirmed Thoms' story, but it was stated that the record of Thoms' story had been broken, as well as two others. It is said to be possible that the wax cylinder, which Thoms said was his best witness to prove an alibi, may be patched up sufficiently to show the truth or falsity of Thoms' story. A Pastry Cook's Crime. St. Etienne, France, Jan. 9.—A pastry cook named Tantale had a quarrel with his wife and killed her with a revolver. He thrust her body into an oven, under which he lighted a fire. He then committed suicide. The calcined remains of the woman were found in the oven.

They are the best firms in the city. The Gazette office, which for the past five or six years has been located in Room 25, Case Library building, has been removed to Room 5, Wick block, next to the old court house. Three persons were baptized at Shiloh church and nine joined Sunday night. One of the persons baptized was formerly a member of St. John's church. Revival meetings are still in progress.

Lacy has been with the Sigler Brothers Co. for 19 years. It would be advisable for his people to call upon him when in need of watches, rings, diamonds and anything in the jewelry line. The time has come when our people should patronize their own, and Mr. Lacy has stood firm for the period above mentioned and is not only representing himself as a true man, but his race. The proper time to call upon him, so he can give you his whole attention, is from 2 p. m. to 10:30 p. m. Encourage him and benefit yourself. A very pretty pamphlet entitled "Views of Tacoma, Washington," has been received by The Gazette. The photogravures it contains are fine. They consist of views of the city hall, court house, and other important buildings and streets. The book was sent by Donald G. Gibbs, for many years a resident of this city. He is a son of Hon. M. W. Gibbs, of Arkansas and Oberlin, O., United States consul at Tamatave, Madagascar. Mr. Gibbs is a fine mechanic, but ill health compelled him to abandon his trade and go to the northwest, where he is now doing nicely. He is well known here and in Oberlin, also his former home, and was liked by all with whom he came in contact. Miss Bertha A. Williams, of No. 472 Woodland avenue, entertained the evening of December 30 in honor of her guest, Miss Nora Hancock, of Painesville. Those present were: Geo. F. Endle, Miss Hersel Bottomh, Miss Eleanore Endle, Mrs. Endle, W. N. Alexander, Miss Fitzhugh, Miss Luella Alexander, Miss Lena Burton, Geo. R. Alexander, jr. Supper was served. There was singing, and recitations were delivered. Officer Charles Smith, secretary to Chief of Police Corner, is no longer "the genial Charlie." He has longed for the return of his wife from her "brief" visit with relatives in St Louis, until the one-time ever-present smile has vanished and sadness, yea! even sickness, have supplanted it. When approached on this subject, it is only fair to add that the quondam rotund secretary indignantly denies such "base insinuation," and struggles manfully to reproduce the one-time locally famous smile and hearty laugh that won him the title of "Genial Charley." But O! what a failure the effort is. Ask Ed Daw, when you see him, if he ever heard of the Dime Savings bank. It is said that knowledge of what happened at this bank last week made "Jake" Reed, grand treasurer of the G. U. O. of O. F., spend several sleepless nights. Mention the matter to either and they will immediately proceed "to buy suthin'". St. Andrew's Episcopal mission, Rev. E. S. Doan, priest in charge, Sunday-school at 2 p. m.

The New year's ball given by a number of the young men of the city proved a most enjoyable affair. The ladies were beautifully gowned and the gentlemen in attendance were real "swagger" in their dress suits. They promised the young ladies to have published in The Gazette an elaborate account of the ball, which would include a careful description of each lady's costume.

They have one of the largest and best filled department stores between New York and Chicago and are noted for their considerate treatment of their patrons, regardless of class or color. The Robeda club gave a supper on New Year's evening at a hall, 712 Hough avenue. The annual election of officers was held, resulting as follows: T. W. Flemming, president; Louis Buchanan, vice; A. T.

Chives, of No. 2 Fernwood street, East Cleveland, has been very ill the past week with a painful gathering in her right ear. She has been removed to 51 Arthur street. Many members of St. John's church turned out Thursday to discuss the advisability of disposing of the church property. Nothing definite, with the exception of the appointment of a committee to ascertain the value of property near the church was done. Miss Mima Fields, of Calvert street, who has been employed about two months by Mr. J. M. Hastings, ladies' tailor in the Rose building, was recently promoted to the head of the skirt department. Because of special fitness she was advanced over many others who preceded her in employment at Hasting's. Miss Fields is the only Afro-American in the city occupying such a position in this line of work. Messrs. Wm. Foutz and John Sherlock, proprietors of the Metropolitan restaurant, corner of Euclid avenue and Bond street, have in their employ many of our people and are to be complimented on the firm stand they have taken relative to their employment. J. E. Reed was recently chosen drum major and manager of the Metropolitan band, of which Mr. Chas. McAfee is the instructor and Mr. George Heavner is leader. Mr. Reed leaves to-morrow (Sunday) for Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. Rev. S. H. Ferguson, pastor of Corey chapel, began his revival meetings this week. Three new members united with the church Sunday. The Sunday-school is in a flourishing condition. There will be a grand rally at the church January 26. The Epworth league convention and S. S. institute will be held here next month. The officers are trying to make it one of the greatest conventions in the history of the sub-district. There will be delegates from Oberlin, Ellyria and Lorain. A young lady of the race who had occasion to call at the sheriff's office on Wednesday afternoon to see a relative, was refused the privilege by assistant turnkey Charles Gordon, the only Negro regularly employed in the office. When asked why the refusal, a curt reply was given over the 'phone. When Sheriff Barry's attention was called to the matter about a half hour later he very promptly replied by saying that there was no reason why the young lady could not call that afternoon and see her relative and warmly extended an invitation to her to do so, which, we understand, she accepted. Here is another illustration of what a little cheap authority will do for some people. We have reference to Gordon, who is not a deputy sheriff, as claimed by his friends, but an assistant turnkey. There are inside and outside deputy sheriffs; a turnkey, assistant turnkeys, etc. We are aware of the fact that the turnkey and assistant turnkeys are commonly referred to as deputy sheriffs. Technically, this is wrong. To be able to fill the position of deputy sheriff in a county in which is so large a city as Cleveland one must possess clerical ability. of the Nickel Plate Road mailed on application to the General Passenger Agent, Cleveland, Ohio.

Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estrangements, unites the separated and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you: you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all questions. She can be coerced with Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUTURE will be written in an honest, clear plain manner, and in a dead trance. Mother should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Macame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all their forms, have one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success.

I have known it to cure barrenness in women, who to-day are happy mothers of children, and while the medical profession looks down upon 'patents', I have learned, instead, to look-up to the healing potion, by whatever name it be known.

Pain or dull ache in the back is unmistakable evidence of kidney trouble. It is Nature's timely warning to show you that the track of health is not clear. If these danger signals are unheeded, more serious results are sure to follow; Bright's disease which is the worst form of kidney trouble may steal upon you. The mild and the extraordinary effect of the world-famous kidney and bladder remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. A trial will convince anyone—and you may have a sample bottle free, by mail. Backache and Urinary Trouble. Among the many famous investigated cures of Swamp-Root the one we publish this week for the benefit of our readers, speaks in the highest terms of the wonderful narrative property in this great kidney remedy. GENTLEMEN!—When I wrote you last March for a sample bottle of Swamp-Root, my wife was a great sufferer from backache, rheumatism and urinary trouble. After trying the sample bottle, she bought a large bottle here at the drug store. That did her so much good she bought more. The effect of Swamp-Root was wonderful and almost immediate. She has felt no return of the old trouble since Oct., 1901. F. THOMAS, 427 Best St. Buffalo N. V. Lame back is only one symptom of kidney trouble ae of many. Other symptoms showing that you need Swamp-Root are, obliged to pass water often during the day and to get up many times at night, inability to hold your urine, smarting or irritation in passing, brickdust or sediment in the urine, catarrh of the bladder, uric acid, constant headache, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervousness, irregular heart-beating, rheumatism, bloating, irritability, wornout feeling, lack of ambition, loss of flesh sallow complexion BAKING A TURKEY. According to This Authority Many Cooks Do It the Wrong Way. "Ninety-nine women out of every one hundred, ninety-nine cooks out of every one hundred, will bake a turkey with the back to the pan," said a New Orleans man who keeps in touch with the kitchen, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "and this is a mistake. I said ninety-nine out of every one hundred. Rather should I have said that the mistake is almost universally made. But few cooks ever think of cooking the turkey any other way. There seems to be a demand for well-browned turkey breast. But in browning the breast they sacrifice the sweetness of this part of the fowl. The best way to prepare a turkey is to bake it with the breast down. I learned this lesson from Mme. Begue, whose place down in the Old Quarter near the French market has become famed all over the country. She never thinks of baking a turkey with the breast up. The breast is turned to the bottom or the pan, instead of being dry and tasteless when it is served is richly flavored, and as sweet and juicy as one would care to have it. You see, all the fine flavoring of the turkey, the juices or the dressing and all the daintier touches flow down toward the breast of the fowl, and when the white meat is served you get the full benefit of every flavor added during the process of preparing and baking the turkey in addition to the distinctive taste of the fowl itself. "Inconvenient and awkward? Not at all. It is just as easy to cook a turkey in this way as in any other way, and the result is infinitely more satisfactory. It is no trouble to arrange the fowl in the pan. If you decide to place the fowl on the table before carving it you will find that it will look quite as well as it would if baked in the usual way, and certainly it will taste much better than it would if you baked the breast until it was dry and flavorless."

CONQUERS PAIN Oyster Sandwiches Plump and drain one quart of large oysters and let them become cold; mix four tablespoonfuls of chopped mushrooms (they should be fresh, clean and uncooked), add one button-onion minced fine and one tablespoonful of minced parsley; add this to one-half cupful of thick brown sauce made with butter, flour and oyster liquor, salt and pepper, and cook until the mushrooms are tender and the entire mess is quite thick; then let it cool. Of course these may be all in readiness hours before the real messing begins. Then plaster one oyster with the mixture, put another on top of it sandwich fashion and fasten the two with tiny wooden skewers, or, better yet, silver ones (I don't like to call them toothpicks, as the suggestion is not fastidious); broil them quickly, put on a hot plate, dust as quickly with butter, salt and pepper and serve with a few slices of choice bacon that some one else has broiled at the same time.—Linda Hull Larned, in Woman's Home Companion. Appropriate. A Sunday school teacher in Carthage, Ill., has a class of little girls, and it is his custom to tell them each Sunday of one little incident that has happened in the week, and request the children to quote a verse of Scripture to illustrate the story. In this way she hopes to impress the usefulness of Biblical knowledge upon the little ones. One Sunday she told her class of a cruel boy who would catch cats and cut off their tails. "Now, can any little girl tell me of an appropriate verse?" she asked. There was a pause for a few moments, when one of the little girls arose and in a solemn voice said: "Whatsoever God has joined together let no man put asunder."—Detroit Free Press.

A Household Sport that Makes No End of Fun for the Young. This game may be played by any number of persons. It requires neither preparation nor material, and may, therefore, be introduced anywhere at any time, says the Louisville Courier-Journal. Send one person from the room and then agree upon what he is to do when you call him back. This should be some simple act, and yet one that he would not be likely to think of, say, for example, to look at himself in the mirror; to bow to a certain player; to take a player by the hand and lead her or him to the riddle of the room, or to take a sofa pillow and put it behind a certain player's back. Having settled what he is to do, you summon him back into the room by music arranged for the occasion. The music is to be made by tapping some metal object with a key. The best thing to use is a poker, from which low or loud notes may be brought at will. As the player is to be guided by the music in the performance of his task, the musician must keep close watch on him and give him warning. When he begins to do anything like what has been appointed, the music should be low; when he does what he ought not to do, it should be loud. Let us suppose, for example, that he is to take a sofa pillow and put it behind a certain player's back. As he enters the room the music is making a great clatter, and this tends to keep him from collecting his thoughts, as it is intended to do. Presently he walks toward the sofa where the pillow is lying, and the music becomes soft. This tells him that he is on the right track. He touches a chair and the music becomes loud, which tells him that a chair has no part in his task. He touches the sofa and the music grows soft, and when he touches the pillow it ceases for a moment and then begins again, very soft. He now knows he is to do something with the pillow, but what? He stands and holds it—wrong! He puts it on the floor and sits on it—very loud music! Then he throws it down before some player, but the music is still loud. Then it occurs to him that a sofa pillow makes a good rest for one's back, and he puts it behind a player, but the player is not the one selected and the music does not cease, though it becomes very faint. Its faintness suggests that he has hit on the right thing, but not the right player, and he tries player after player until he finds the one selected, when the music stops and his task is done. NOTES OF THE MODES. Pretty Trifles that Go to Complete the Costumes that are Now En Regle. The going-away gown of a bride is composed of biscuit-colored cloth, the bodice beautifully embroidered in golden silk and finished with a Venetian lace collar and touches of blue. The skirt is made with a shaped flounce put on in waves and headed and hemmed with narrow bands of sable. A large pale blue beaver hat, with feathers of the same shade and trimmed with chiffon and lace, accompanies this becoming costume. Glace silk, as a material for evening cloaks, is much to be praised in very pale colors; one in the lightest of water green, for example, with deep borders of ermine and a trimming of Irish lace, may be cordially recommended, and this should bear a lining of quilted silk; there is a new fashion of idealizing quilted linings, tiny little silken buttons being placed at every crossed corner. This, says the Brooklyn Eagle, is somewhat suggestive of a furniture decoration, but it is new, and therefore, to some folks, desirable. Some of the extravagances of the moment are long evening wraps of silk, satin or chiffon sometimes worked with gold thread and cretonne embroidery and having a lining of handsome brocade. There are short capes of soft satin entirely covered with face, and lace boleros worn with long satin coats. Colored laces employed as capes are seen on some of the new opera wraps. One of the nandsomest evening wraps of the season is fashioned from the new Louisine chene brocade. A delicate design of baskets full of flowers is woven on the biscuit-colored ground; it looks at first like hand painting. A band of biscuit-toned panne trims the foot of the garment, a line of sable dividing the two fabrics, and there is a deep collar of sable edged with lace. The bow knot is the latest design in tortoise shell hair ornaments. Very few people talk well; very few people are graceful. We wonder they do not cultivate these accomplishments instead of studying German and art.—Atchison Globe. UNITED STATES SENATOR THURSTON. The Brilliant Statesman from Nebraska, Makes an Important Public Utterance. C. M. C. INTERIOR OF UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER. Ex-Senator John M. Thurston, of Omaha, Nebraska, is one of the most prominent and influential men in the country. He made the speech nominating President McKinley at the St. Louis convention, and was made permanent Chairman of this convention. He was also made Chairman of the convention that re-nominated President McKinley at Philadelphia. He was recently appointed by President McKinley Chairman of the St. Louis Exposition Commission. This prominent gentleman recently wrote the following letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio: Washington, D. C., April 6, 1901. "I have used Peruna at various times during the past year or two with most satisfactory results. "It entirely relieved me from an irritating cough—the result of excessive effort in the presidential campaign, and I am a firm believer in its efficacy for any such trouble."---Jno. M. Thurston. Catarrh has already become a national curse. Its ravages extend from growing in favor steadily all these years. It stands to-day before the nation More than one-half of the people are affected by it. It has become such a serious matter that it has passed the boundaries of the medical profession and become a national question. Senators are talking about it; Congressmen are discussing it. They are not only considering the extent and chronic nature of the disease, but the possibility of finding a national remedy to meet this national calamity. The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems to be the main expectation in this direction. Dr. Hartman, President of the Hartman Sanitarium, devised the remedy, Peruna, over forty years ago, and the remedy as a catarrh cure has been How to Veneer Fashionably "There will be snow soon," said a bounder, "and when it comes I'll hire a sleigh and set of furs, and take my best girl out, dazzling her. You don't know, I guess, that you can hire furs, did you? Well, you can, and crack-a-jacks, too. Big sealskin caps with eartabs, fur gloves up to your armpits, fur collars up to your forehead—there are half a dozen pawnbrokers in this town that'll fit you out with all those things for an afternoon, and the price is only a bone. You put them on, and as you spin along the park drive you say to your girl: 'I got those gloves in Manitoba—a gift from my friend, the mayor of Dog Gulch. I speared myself the seal my cap is made from, and Senator Pitcoe gave me the collar—Pi coe, of Wyoming—perhaps you know him.' The girl looks at you. You resemble an Eskimo. She counts the cost of the fur, and decides that it is a young millionaire she's up against. After that she's yours." — Philadelphia Record. Oyster Croquettes.

It stands to-day before the nation as a thoroughly tested, accurately scientific internal remedy for catarrh. There are practically no medicinal rivals in the field. Peruna is not a local application or temporary relief; it is a permanent cure. Peruna is a systemic remedy. It eradicates catarrh from the system. It cures catarrh wherever located. Its cures are radical and lasting. Therefore, Peruna is receiving the endorsement of the leading statesmen and history-makers of the day. Address the Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O., for a book of testimonials, containing letters from prominent men and women concerning Peruna. Just Like Her Mrs. Bombazine—O, I never have any trouble in spelling correctly; but I'll admit that I make a mistake now and then through carelessness. Mrs. Blunt—Yes; I remember the funny mistake you made in asking for a berth in the house. The Peruna Almanac. The druggists have already been supplied with Peruna almanacs. There is sure to be a great demand for these almanacs on account of the articles on astrology which they contain. The subject of astrology is a very attractive one to most people. The articles on astrology, in the Peruna almanac have been furnished by a very competent astrologist, and the mental characteristics of each sign is given, constituting almost a complete horoscope. A list of lucky and unlucky days for each month are given. There will be a great rush for these books. Ask your druggist for one early before they are all gone. His Preference.
